Coloring Books Have A History - Since When?

Since the Year 1880. The first coloring books were published in the United States by brother artists John and Edward McLoughlin.

Coloring books pages have black line drawings. The most popular coloring tool is crayons, followed by colored pencils, paint, and markers.

Paint was used on the images before crayon wax become popular in the 1930's.

Color inside the lines or outside the lines? There is no right or wrong way. Decorating inside the lines promote purpose: attention to details, understanding of familiar objects, order, and the discipline of self-control.
